One Of A Kind

~ Sage Preston's POV ~

I texted him first today and I don't know why. It was just a simple 'Hey' text but it still got me all freaked out. I didn't text him first. I barely liked texting him at all and now I'm texting him first? Why did I do that?

What made things worse is that I didn't get a reply and he left me on read. For some reason this made me feel... bad.

Maybe it was just my ego. I was so accustomed to Benjamin chasing me that the one time he didn't I was upset. It's obviously a chemical thing. Completely scientific and uncontrollable.

I just wish I could stop staring at my phone waiting for a reply.

"May?" I yelled from my bed and out came my twin sister from the bathroom.

"What?" She crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.

"What's got you in a sour mood?" I asked. May was barely ever snappy. Unless I made her late to anything but I didn't today. I think...

"I can't get my make up to match! One eye always looks different than the other and I've been trying for an hour! It's almost 2! I have to leave at 3! And I still need to get dressed!" She cried out and I frowned.

"Where are you going?"

"On a date! It's really important!" May groaned and made her way back into the bathroom.

That got me up on my feet and following her. A date? May didn't go on dates. Sure, guys liked her and asked her out but she never said yes.

"A date? With who?" I leaned against the bathroom door frame.

"Nobody you know" May sighed and I could hear the remains of an attitude in her voice. What the hell?:

"May I know all of your friends. Why is it so important anyway?" I tried to lighten the mood. I don't understand what's got her so worked up.

May looked over at me and I could see the look on her face. She was hiding something and didn't know if she should tell me. Her lips were turned down and her blue eyes were sad.

"May. What's going on? I've never seen you act like this because of a guy" I frowned. I didn't like the way this was going.

"Oh god, Sage! Just go away! I need to get ready for my date" May's sad eyes turned angry.

"Woah! Why are you angry?" I sputtered. Is she really angry at me? May didn't get angry at me.

"Just get out! Go talk to your boyfriend or something! You're not the only one that gets to keep secrets from our family!" May slammed the door in my face and I pushed down the lump in my throat.

I really hated when May and I fought. It only happened on a blue moon but it always felt wrong. She was my twin. My other half. She's the only person in the world that I felt comfortable with.

I blinked away some tears and looked down at my phone and sighed.

Sage: Hey, I kinda need to talk to someone. Can you call me?

I don't know why I thought texting him after he left me on read was a good idea but Benjamin was the person I talked to about things.

I spent an hour walking around my house aimlessly. I played some video games with Kevin and Devin and played with Kaia for a little bit but I was still bored.
